Rape crisis speaker scheduled by Barb Cavano Collegian Staff Writer Lawrence Lobby will be host to a speaker on Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. A guest from the Erie Rape Crisis Center (to be named at a later date), was asked by the Residential Life staff to speak on a "today" issue-rape prevention and defense. The lecture's theme will be "how to talk yourself out of a rape situation." Light was first brought on the subject by Eric Connors and Alene Rohde, members of the Residential Life staff. "Creating awareness of various subjects has been an ongoing process of the Residential Life staff," Rohde said. "Rape crisis is a part of this process," she noted. "We feel there is a need for a topic like this because rape is becoming more prevalent on college campuses in this area. It's the crime no-one likes to talk about," Rohde concluded.
